Don't hurt the Outcasts

A Little Death

Michael's POV

Wondering the school got boring pretty quick because there was no one to scare , no one to stalk , and no one to bother . During the weekends there was always the janitor who i would mess with but he didn't work the night shift only the weekends the one that works at night leaves early so no fun for me .

I was walking down the hallways hitting lockers as I walked along , I stopped at a locker that i was at earlier today it was Luke's he left his jammed " stupid" i opened it to see pictures of a Cliffside and the ocean they were amazing I smiled at the thought of him in a sweater on the beach with a camera around his neck laughing at something i said. WAIT what the hell did i just say I replayed the thought in my head shaking away the thought i looked through his locker more there was the usual chemistry books , notebooks , camera film full of undeveloped pictures i threw it back in till i saw a map of the school marked with areas tha aren't suppose to be but one area that really caught my eye was he had marked my hiding spot it was above the drama stage no wonder he had pictures of it . I ripped the map up and shut his locker stomping my way to the school office to figure who this boy is .

Luke's POV

when I got home from the bus ride i heard my parents arguing i love them but they didn't fight like this before jack and ben left for college leaving me as the only child , i waved even though they wouldn't have noticed I walked into my bedroom shutting the door to drown out their yelling about who was going to get the house when the file the divorce , i shook my head at them in the end the argument would fade and they would go to their separate way which dad would sleep on the couch and mom would come in and apologize about it this was the routine .

i started to get ready to sleep before making a sandwich . i sneaked past my dad who was asleep on the couch with the TV remote in hand with some late night news on TV talking about the dead couple I turned it off and continued towards the kitchen i grabbed the sandwich stuff making a PB&J when i was finished i headed back to my room putting the sandwich on my bedside table . I finished my food and started to drift off to sleep with the mysterious boy on my mind .

Luke's POV

The next morning i arrived at school in black skinny jeans and a old band tee walking to my locker opening it up to be met with my map shredded up i frowned at the mess heading to my first class seeing the boy again he winked at me and vanished not like i looked away and he was gone he just vanished in to thin air .

I walked to the drama room during lunch i walked up the stage and in to the side stage walking up a ladder to Michael's spot i was hopping that boy was him but it my just be my sleep deprived mind tricking me in to seeing things . When i reached the top of the ladder i was met with a attic type area that had antique rugs draping on the wall with the windows boarded up but the sunlight creeping in I set my bag down next to me as I sit next to the wall looking around hopping for Michael to some how appear .

Michael's POV

when I was done messing around with the jocks by hiding their prized championship trophy I headed back to my hide out , as I walked up the ladder I saw Luke eating lunch in my spot I made myself transparent I walked up to him and poked his cheek he shivered in response I stood back up and sat across from looking at him wondering why he was so curious about me I was dead and he was alive it would never work out my head fell at the thought of him growing old and me being stuck here for who knows how long . I made myself visible to him he jumped when he saw me I looked at him actually getting a look at him a black lip ring was at the corner of his mouth , his blonde hair was in a quiff , his blues eyes were pale but full of light and sadness .

Luke's POV

when Michael finally appeared it scared me at first I got my first look at him his bright green eyes were the first thing I saw when I looked at the boy , his lips were a pale pink ,he had a punk look but I knew he wasn't . we sat there in silence I had some many question to ask him but I couldn't talk I couldn't get myself to talk to him he had one leg stretched out and the folded to his chest his arm wrapped around it he was staring intensely at me I went to speak but was caught of by him laughing at me

" what are you laughing at ?" I looked towards him a little sad to see the boy I like laugh he shook his head " I'm laughing at the fact you probably have a million questions and your so quite " I smiled but shook it away . " why are you still here " I smirked at him knowing i probably hit a sensitive topic with in the ghostly boy

Michael's POV

" why are you still here ?" he asked the same question i have been asking myself for years i shook my head " i don't know kid , why you want to know " i asked him looking at his shocked reaction of me calling him kid even though he looked around the age I died at .

Luke's POV
it was a good question and he can't even answer it
" come on dude you don't even now why do you " I cock my head and smirk at him he looked angry . He got up ,lifted me up and shoved me in to the wall
" you think you can just come in here and question my existence, you are mortal I could kill you and I would still be here . keep your questions to were I can answer them next Time " he vanished leaving me alone in a creepy attic
